organize my paperwork

I really want to reduce the amount of papers I keep, so my plan is to go through my folders and shred everything I can – this is how I’m going to spend my weekend: sorting and shreding :)

The book that I bought is giving me some ideas on how to move forward.

Still have a lot of papers to organize, and I keep procrastinating on this goal!

The file folders, and book are going to help me to organize the papers.

It just feels insurmountable! There are so many papers to organize, not enough time to do it, and I just don’t want to get started, because I know that I can’t finish the project in one sitting.

I’m going to keep trying the step-by-step approach, enough though it’s such a slow way of doing things.

I have been organizing my favourite folders on the computer because they are my “paperles” folders, and they also have information on how to organize paperwork.

It seemed like quite the task to organize the links into folders, but I’m glad that I did it, because from doing it, I now know that I have several projects on the go, that need to be finished.

about six weeks ago, with various compartments for all of the different kinds of paperwork relating to my business.

However, it is still sat there empty, whilst I continue to stuff everything in a large manila envelope.

One day I’m going to empty the envelope and sort out the contents. One day. Just not today.

There’s such a mess in this room…
I kinda feel like I’m drowning in tons of papers.. So one of the first things I’m going to do right after my graduation and university entering exams (and after a few sprees – celebration is necessary:D) is to clean up the mess. Sort the things I’ll need and throw away the unnecessary garbage.

... not close to finished, but made a dent in it. Got rid of most of the paper clutter that I hadn’t gotten around to stuffing in the box. I must’ve been practicing horrible posture, because my upper back is killing me now. :/

Need a filing cabinet bad.

Remember to fill the bottom drawers first so the cabinet doesn’t fall on you. It is easy to store your books there so you can alphabetize using the top drawer for files.

Put like files together
Bank Statements by year
Bills Statements by company name
Credit Card Receipts
Credit Card Statements
House
Ideas
Instructions
IRS
Medical
etc….... Now it is very easy to find anything because it is where it belongs. Whoo Hoo! Current bills get filed as they are paid.

Paperwork seems to be 85% contained. Considering this an accomplishment and crossing it off my list!

I’m a teacher and have papers everywhere! I am an idea collector and often print from the internet only to have great ideas get lost in piles on my table. I want to put papers in folders, filing cabinets, binders, whatever!
